Aesthetic collaboration
Every city aspires to be a place where people want to live and want to visit. When it comes to establishing a unique character in a city, aesthetic appeal is becoming increasingly important. In a world where everyplace is starting to look more and more like everywhere else, a city’s public art can help it stand out. Places with strong public art expressions break the trend of blandness and sameness, and give communities a stronger sense of place and identity. Montreal has invested a lot of resources to establish itself as a premiere destination for public art. With more projects being added each year, it is quickly becoming a defining feature of the city.

In many ways, the definition of public art is changing quite rapidly, especially with a new generation of artists and creators who see the forum of the public as a space to express, and not always in a permanent way,

Revealing an evolving culture
Public art is a big part of what gives a city value, in terms of its cultural, social and even economic fabric. It is a way of marking public history, celebrating an evolving culture and often serving as an important reminder of the past. Montreal has hundreds of public art works created by hundreds of different artists. Scattered throughout the city, they reflect and reveal the society and the people who inhabit it currently and have paved the way for it in the past.
Importantly, public art also humanizes the constructed environment and adds energy to the public space. It allows for a dialogue between past, present, and future. It is freely accessible and helps democratise access to art.
